CIC to CIC Swap Issues
Hey all,
So my factory CIC unit failed on me (reboots endlessly), so I got a new CIC from a donor car with a similar production date as mine. I went through NCSExpert to read my original VO, but it didn't look right since I have top_HIFI and I didn't see $676 in the FA. For shits and giggles I installed the new CIC anyways and I checked the VO for that, and it was the same as what my original unit read out. Is there something wrong with the software I am using? Maybe its just me? Also, the radio and PDC stopped working, but I assume that is because the donor car must not have had those options. I tried to add $676 to the VO and I kept getting different errors. Should I try a different source to download the software and try again or am I having bigger issues?? Or am I just doing it all wrong |

I tried again tonight, and the VO is the same under Factory Reset, still no $676 listed even though it already exists.
Should I delete all files and try to re-install NCSExpert or is there something wrong with my CIC?? |

If donor cic headinit is older than the production date of your car then it’s simple to get it working with your FSC codes. If donor unit production date is newer than it will be much harder to get it working as you need to de-virginize the unit so it will accept your fsc codes.
If you VO code it to your car you will have it working but there will be no navigation or voice control or bmw apps if you had that. |

I figured out my main issue by decoding my Vin, I don't have $676 (Top HiFi) my car has $688 (Harman Kardon). So I guess I still don't understand how to proceed I miss having a radio and navigation, I just want my car to be normal again lol! |

You don’t need to change anything on your VO as after you import your FSC code all you have do is default code the headinit to your vehicle order This job requires someone who is experienced. Try hitting up Joe@topgearsolution. He should be able to provide you service to get you up and running. Last edited by cn555ic; 08-15-2018 at 06:54 PM.. |
